"Visit the picturesque Uluwatu Temple, which sits on the edge of the cliff offering scenic views of the sunset. The temple is also the magnificent backdrop of the Kecak Fire Dance, one of Bali’s most famous cultural performances. Google timings and ticket prices (as this can sometimes change) before you go. You can buy tickets from third party sites like Klook & Get Your Guide. Temple dress code: As this is a continuing place of worship, respect to the religious customs should be upheld. Inside the temple itself, both men and women should wear a sarong, scarf or sash tied around the waist. A sarong and sash are provided inside the grounds, and you can borrow one for free, as long as you visit the temple. • Temple opening hours — 08.00 AM to 07.00 PM • The best time to visit is just before sunset • A guide is not necessary but can be helpful • Don’t wear loose jewellery or valuables • Suggested duration — 1-2 hours • Entrance fee Rp 50,000pp for adults (as of 2024) • Beware of monkey's and your belongings "
"Perched on top of a cliff about 70 meters above sea level, Uluwatu Temple is one of Bali's many most beautiful temples. For a long time, Uluwatu Temple was difficult to access and after a lightning strike set parts of it on fire , has been restored and can now be visited again. One of the most important and famous things not to be missed in Uluwatu Temple is the traditional Kecak dance which is scheduled at around 6pm every evening and tickets cost IDR 100,000 per person. Close to the temple is the Uluwatu Monkey Forest, while Uluwatu Beach, below the temple cliff, is known to be one of the best surfing spots in Bali. 👣How to get there: one hour away from Kuta. 🎟️Ticket cost: 40000 IDR (2,40€)."

"Uluwatu Temple is a Hindu temple perched on a cliff top in southwestern Bali dating back to least a millennium. The temple, situated 70 meters above the Indian Ocean, offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. Beware of the monkeys on the way to the temple and be early during the sunset to be able to stand in front of the queue for the famous Kecak Dance. Kecak Dance also known as the Bali fire dance or the Ramayana monkey chant, is a captivating performance held at the Uluwatu Temple in Bali."
